Retirement imminent for Andy Murray, unlikely to play past this Summer paving the way for Wimbledon farewell

In the biggest sign yet that retirement is imminent, Andy Murray has confirmed that he doesn't plan to play past the summer in the likelihood that he will call it quits after a Wimbledon homecoming.
After constantly being bombarded by retirement queries due to poor form, he said that he was bored of it but that he is unlikely to play past this Summer. It may be past Wimbledon with Murray hinting earlier in the week that he wants to play at the Olympic Games but that also he will make an announcement when his time is over. His latest loss came on Wednesday to Ugo Humbert 6-2, 6-4 in Dubai.
"Yeah, I mean, I'm likely not going to play past this summer," said Murray post match.
"I get asked about it after every single match that I play, every single tournament that I play. I'm bored of the question, to be honest. Yeah, I'm not going to talk more about that between now and whenever the time comes for me to stop. But yeah, I don't plan on playing much past this summer."
He will also seemingly play Roland Garros one final time for the first time since 2020. "Probably, yeah. Last few years I've tried to give myself maybe better preparation for the grass season, but that also doesn't guarantee that you're going to play really well on the grass.
"I've had experiences through my career where I didn't play the French Open in 2013 and I won Wimbledon. I also played the French Open and did really well in 2016. I don't think it makes a huge difference if you get an extra week's practice or so on the grass. So yeah, I would like to play one more time."
